Good morning everyone, from OIB, N.C.
We moved South to the border of N.C. and S.C. where the temperature is more to my liking!
This morning – Sherry and I took my oldest son Troy and his partner Andrea to the East end
of OIB, by the break wall called the GROIN!
Sherry near the GROIN as we wait for the sunrise.
The GROIN was installed last winter to stop the beach erosion.
900 feet long straight out and into the ocean.
Made up of huge granite boulders weighing tons
and lifted by a big crane from beds of huge dump trucks and put in place to form a break wall to stop erosion.
Troy – Andrea and Sherry – waiting for the sunrise coming up over the horizon.
Andrea and Troy standing on the GROIN – hardly any folks about at this time of day.
Troy – giving a thumbs up for this site to watch the sunrise.
The start of the sunrise – a little bit of a breeze with a slight chill.
The GROIN on OIB with the sun peaking on the horizon.
Beyond this rock wall is a lagoon that at low tide turns into a huge tidal pool – only one to two feet deep!
Sunrise over the GROIN at OIB – beautiful – warms your heart!
Sherry – Andrea and Troy enjoying the sunrise – taking pictures and by this time a couple dozen other people had gathered!
